Secretary of State for Justice v LSM Professional Ltd and Another: QBD 16 May 2012

Reasons for rejection of applications to amend the pleadings: ‘They represent a wholly new factual case as to what the Secretary of State would or could have done if the alleged wrongdoing had not taken place ten years ago and, what is more, it is one that could have been pleaded at any stage. It seems that the idea was inspired not by the discovery of new facts but by the content of his own expert report served earlier this year.’
